Ok, so I understand that Scottish Cup ties take preference over SPL games, hence our game being postponened tonight. What I don't understand is why the Arabs are then playing the Yams tonight when they have a Scottish Cup game to play against Motherwell.
Is it a different rule for replays?

I'm pretty sure there are designated replay dates.

Talk about ruining a pretty decent conspiracy theory. :bitchy:

Because of Hearts' 'special relationship' with the Big Cup, i'm led to believe they call the shots regarding postponments and the scheduling of replays. FJK wanted a match tonight so Motherwell have been put on the back burner to accomodate fatties wishes.

That doesn't explain why the Aberdeen v St Mirren replay is tonight, St Johnstone v Brechin replay is the 22nd, and the Dundee Utd v Motherwell replay is the 30th :confused: Obviously the clubs can choose whenever they like.

Celtic didn't fancy playing an in-form team, they shat it...simples!

They had planned for a replay before the 1st tie and had advised the relevant authorities about it, therefore the police and the likes have given permission for it :wink:
